Richard III

Richard III is the only English king to die in battle and the only successful usurper who then failed to keep his crown, since the Norman Conquest. Within a broadly chronological framework this Study Day considers what went wrong.

Rosemary Horrox MA PhD FRHistS is Fellow & Director of Studies in History at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge. She is the author or editor of a range of works on medieval England, including Richard III: a study of service; The Black Death; Fifteenth-century Attitudes: perceptions of society in late medieval England.

Summer Programme:

The Court at Sutton Hoo is still closed for the refurbishment works. We had hoped to find other venues to run the Study Days in the interim, however that has not proved possible so we are assuming that the Study Days will restart again in the Court in September. We are planning an exciting set of topics and speakers. Apologies for the long gap.
